I've exceeded 750 posts and received a badge from note

It has been about three years since I started note. The number of my posts has steadily increased to 750. The fact that the number of people following me has grown and that so many of you are reading my work has been a great support, allowing me to keep going. Thank you very much.

Cumulative number of posts

I have created a graph of my cumulative posts up to this point, reaching 750.

It's a beautiful graph, isn't it?

In October 2022, I started note with the determination to post for 30 days in a row! By continuing to post every day for half a year, writing on note became a hobby of mine.

After that half-year period, I slowed my pace to 10-15 articles per month and have continued for three years.

Living a FIRE lifestyle, I have come to understand the meaning of being 'time-rich' more and more. The time I spend on note is a habit I was able to form precisely because I am time-rich.

Recently, as my hobbies have increased, I plan to continue note at a more relaxed pace moving forward.

List of articles

If you are interested in what kind of things I have written in 750 articles, please take a look at my portal site. You can see a list of all the titles.

The content I write on my Mako-san note is categorized into 13 magazines. They range from long, enthusiastic pieces to lighthearted essays. I would be happy if you could click on any magazines that interest you.

On this portal site, you can click on any article title that catches your eye to jump directly to that article.

Trends in followers

Thanks to all of you, as of December 2025, I have 910 followers. Thank you very much.

An increase in followers leads to motivation for writing on note. To everyone who follows me, thank you truly.

I gauge the reputation of my articles by the number of 'Like❤️' marks you, my followers, press. To be honest, it's not that my highly-rated articles get the most likes; I've come to realize that there is a tendency for more generally appealing articles to gather more likes.

Please feel free to press the Like button as much as you like based on your own impressions. The number of Like marks leads to the motivation to continue writing on note.

Community through note

There are even a few followers who have read all of Mako-san's notes and pressed the Like button on every single one. Sometimes, a community begins through note.

I mainly utilize two communities. "FIRE CAFE," hosted by Pasta-o-san, and "FIRE Terrace," hosted by Terasawa-san.

Both communities are gatherings of "people who have achieved FIRE" and "people who have a desire to achieve FIRE," both online and offline.

At community meetups, I am often approached by people saying, "I read Mako-san's notes!" and I feel incredibly happy.

Also, by opening a booth at the Tokyo Literary Flea Market 41, a community of writers and authors also exists. Just by writing on note, I have learned about many different lives, and it has truly become a fun hobby.

Books

Friends sometimes ask me, "Since you write so many notes, why don't you publish a book?" Actually, I have already published one.

Book Title: "The Fear of Quitting Being a Company Employee, and the Happiness After Overcoming It"

You can read it for free from the link below, so please click it.

Fundraiser

I also work as a fundraiser. A fundraiser, literally translated, is a "person who collects funds."

My activities involve acting as a bridge between "social issues that need to be solved, such as educational support for children" and "the wishes of people who want to support them." In other words, it is the work of collecting donations and grants necessary for the activities of NPO (non-profit organization) corporations.

I also donate the royalties from the books I have written and the tips from this note.

Please see "Support if you like it!" at the bottom of this article. By clicking "Support with a tip," you can send a donation. An explanation will appear after you click, and you can cancel after that, so I would be happy if you could try using the "Support with a tip" function once.
